Why equilibrium constants matter

Why equilibrium constants matter

Diagram summarizing dynamic equilibrium, Kc and Kp expressions, interpretation of the size of K, and the effect of temperature

A reversible reaction can proceed in both directions. In a closed system, dynamic equilibrium is reached when the forward and reverse reactions continue at equal rates, so the concentrations stop changing.

Step-by-step lessons covering Eduqas A Level Chemistry Equilibrium constants for A Level Chemistry. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Component 1, Component 2 and Component 3 format. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
